Music lovers in Watson are in for a rootin’ tootin’ hillbilly hoedown on Thursday, August 14 when Washboard Hank and the Wringers hit the stage at the New Horizons Centre.

Rob Carnie - It seems like yesterday we were looking forward to the Phyllis Dewar Outdoor Pool opening. Now we're talking about a closing at the end of August. So summer is winding down and we still got a couple of weeks to enjoy.
